Merveille Arima
Staying at Merveille Arima exceeded all my expectations. The included breakfast and dinner were incredibly generous and delicious—each meal felt like a special experience. The hotel's private onsen facilities, including both gold and silver baths, are a real highlight. No need to crowd into public baths elsewhere; the serene outdoor hot spring is perfect for unwinding under the stars. The staff went above and beyond—especially upon check-in, when they warmly handed me a beautifully made yukata. Located right by Taikō Bridge, it’s super convenient for getting around Kobe, whether by train or foot. The whole stay was relaxing, luxurious, and thoughtfully designed. I’ll definitely return here on my next trip to Arima. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful, authentic Japanese onsen retreat.

They even offered a small gift upon arrival, which added a personal touch. For the price, the quality and experience are outstanding. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend this gem to any traveler visiting Kobe.
Kamiobo
Staying at Kamiobo was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the heart of Kobe, making it easy to explore the city without relying on transportation. The rooms are spacious and immaculately clean, with thoughtful touches like a private toilet and plenty of amenities. I especially loved relaxing on the balcony, breathing in the fresh air and enjoying the quiet atmosphere. What truly sets this place apart is its own natural hot spring—no need to leave the property to enjoy the therapeutic waters. The breakfast was exceptional: hearty, delicious, and made with fresh ingredients. It felt like a true Japanese homestay experience, something I’d never tried before, and I was completely charmed by it. The owners are warm, welcoming, and incredibly friendly—no judgment at all, even with visible tattoos (my husband and I both have large ones). This isn’t just a hotel; it’s a peaceful retreat that feels like home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authenticity, comfort, and a genuine cultural touch.
Arima Onsen Motoyu Kosenkaku
Staying at Arima Onsen Motoyu Kosenkaku was an absolute delight. The moment I stepped into the property, I felt like I had entered a quiet, timeless retreat. Located just a short distance from Kobe, it's easily accessible by public transport, and once you're on the grounds, the peaceful atmosphere truly sets in. The traditional Japanese design of the inn is beautifully maintained—wooden beams, tatami floors, and subtle lighting create a serene vibe. My room was spacious, cozy, and perfectly appointed with all the essentials. What made this stay unforgettable was the natural hot spring bath. The onsen water is crystal clear, rich in minerals, and so soothing that every muscle relaxed instantly. I especially loved walking through the surrounding bamboo groves and listening to the gentle sound of flowing water nearby—it felt like being in a hidden garden. The kaiseki dinner was exquisite—fresh ingredients, artistic presentation, and thoughtful flavor balance. Breakfast was equally impressive, with local delicacies that gave a true taste of the region. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, making the whole experience feel personal and warm. This isn't just a hotel—it’s a calming escape from the everyday. I’d highly recommend it for anyone seeking authenticity, tranquility, and a genuine connection with nature and tradition.
Arima Onsen Taketoritei Maruyama
Staying at Taketoritei Maruyama Onsen in Arima was an absolute delight. The property is immaculately maintained—no signs of aging at all—and the traditional Japanese design creates a serene, authentic atmosphere. I felt instantly relaxed upon arrival. The staff went above and beyond with their warm, attentive service. They even offered complimentary shuttle service to and from the town center, and it’s easy to call for a pickup back to the hotel. While the outdoor onsen is popular and tends to fill up fast, the indoor baths are much easier to book and just as enjoyable. Breakfast was a highlight—huge variety, fresh ingredients, and delicious local flavors. Every detail felt thoughtfully curated. This place truly delivers on comfort, hospitality, and value. I’d definitely come back without hesitation.
Hotel Morgenrot
Staying at Hotel Morgenrot was an absolute delight, especially because of its unbeatable location right next to the Gin-You Onsen entrance—just a quick step outside and you're already soaking in the hot springs. The temple of Gekoku-ji is literally within 100 meters, making it super easy to take a peaceful morning walk or explore some local history. While the bathroom is on the smaller side, it's spotlessly clean and functional. The overall vibe of the place is cozy and authentic, with a real sense of Japanese simplicity and warmth. For the price, this hotel offers incredible value—perfect for travelers who want a quiet, genuine ryokan experience without the hassle of long commutes. I’d definitely stay here again if I’m back in Kobe.
Zuihoen
We stayed at Zuihoen in Kobe with my 74-year-old mom and our 10-year-old daughter. The suite was spacious—definitely more than just a standard room—but it felt like three rooms were squeezed together, which made the layout a bit unusual. Still, we were very happy with the size and comfort. The bathroom stood out—the fixtures were high-end and so relaxing after a long day of exploring. While the price wasn’t cheap (over ¥100,000 for the suite), considering the location, service, and overall quality, it felt worth every yen. We only found availability through this platform, which made it even more special. A memorable stay with a great balance of comfort and value—definitely planning to return.
Arima Onsen Koki
Staying at Arima Onsen Koki was an absolute delight! The moment I walked in, the cleanliness and attention to detail were immediately apparent. The staff went above and beyond with their warm, attentive service—always smiling, always helpful. But the real highlight? The hot springs. The natural onsen water is pure and soothing, perfect for unwinding after a long day. I especially loved soaking in the evening with views of the surrounding mountains—truly peaceful and rejuvenating. Located just minutes from Kobe’s city center via train, it’s easy to explore local restaurants, shops, and attractions without sacrificing tranquility. This place offers incredible value for such a high-quality experience. I’ll definitely be back.
Arimaonsen Musubi-No-Koyado En - Hostel
I had a great stay at Arimaonsen Musubi-No-Koyado En - Hostel! The room was clean, comfortable, and the staff went above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable. However, I did encounter a minor issue with the booking platform—there was an address discrepancy that led me to the wrong hotel location. After several trips back and forth with luggage, I finally found the correct entrance at the information center. It definitely wasted some time, so if you're booking through a third-party site, I’d recommend double-checking the address or contacting the hostel directly before arrival. Despite this hiccup, the overall experience was excellent. The atmosphere is cozy, the location is convenient, and the value for money is outstanding. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Kobe!
Arima Onsen Hyoe Koyokaku Kobe
Staying at Arima Onsen Hyoe Koyokaku in Kobe was an absolute delight. I booked a traditional Japanese-style room, and it was spacious and cozy with efficient heating—perfect for the chilly weather. The bathroom featured a smart dry-wet separation, and cleanliness was excellent throughout. The onsen experience? A solid 10/10. The outdoor baths are separated by gender, set in a peaceful, serene environment with plenty of lounge space to relax before or after soaking. They even provide complimentary towels, hair dryers, and toiletries—no need to pack extra stuff. Staff were incredibly attentive and warm-hearted. Since we traveled with our young child, the restaurant team went above and beyond—offering kid-friendly utensils and a welcoming atmosphere that made mealtime stress-free. Every detail felt thoughtfully designed. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s a true retreat. Highly recommend for anyone seeking comfort, authenticity, and genuine hospitality in a beautiful onsen setting.
The Gran Resort Arima
Staying at The Gran Resort Arima was a fantastic choice for our trip to Kobe, especially since we were driving. The room was spacious by Japanese standards, and the location couldn’t be better—just a short drive from Arima Onsen town and nestled in the hills with beautiful views. Free parking is a huge plus, especially when traveling with a car. The on-site gold bath (kinyu onsen) was incredibly relaxing, and the water quality was excellent. The surrounding scenery adds to the peaceful, serene atmosphere. While breakfast isn’t included, there are plenty of great local eateries nearby, so it’s easy to grab a delicious meal. Overall, this resort offers an unbeatable mix of comfort, convenience, and value—perfect for anyone exploring Kobe by car. Would definitely stay here again.
Arima Koyado Toji
Staying at Arima Koyado Toji was an absolute delight! The room was spacious and immaculately clean, with a stunning view of a blooming cherry blossom tree right outside the window—pure spring magic. We loved being able to enjoy unlimited access to the Kin no Yu hot spring, which made our relaxation experience truly special. The only downside was that Gin no Yu was temporarily closed, but we understand it’s just for maintenance. One thing worth noting: check-in happens at the tourist information center downstairs, where you pick up your room key code and hot spring tickets. This wasn’t mentioned anywhere on the booking page, so we were confused when we arrived with luggage only to find we couldn’t enter the room. Thankfully, the staff were incredibly helpful, guiding us through the process with patience and warmth. From the serene atmosphere to the thoughtful service, this place offers a genuine, peaceful retreat in Arima. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a quiet, authentic Japanese onsen getaway.
